This rare recorded talk was taped during a Sunday service at the Self-Realization Fellowship Hollywood Temple on January 29, 1950. Paramahansa Yogananda speaks of the inner joy of the soul and how we can live in such a way that our outer lives reflect and radiate all the beautiful and noble qualities that give expression to that joy.
With many colorful stories drawn from his own life experiences, he helps us to see that everything we are seeking in people, conditions, and events — all the love, power, happiness, and fulfillment — is already ours; that we do not have to acquire anything outside ourselves, but only to remember what even now exists within our own souls.
